Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (can substitute with gluten-free blend)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Fireball whiskey
  • Optional Topping: 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Optional Topping: 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Optional Whiskey Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Optional Whiskey Glaze: 2-3 tbsp Fireball whiskey

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Slowly pour in Fireball whiskey, mixing until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Optional: Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or two spoons to drop dough balls (about 1.5 tbsp each) onto prepared sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Optional: Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Roll each dough ball in the mixture for a crunchy finish.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and centers are just barely soft.
  10. Let cookies rest on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  11. Optional: Whisk powdered sugar with 2-3 tbsp Fireball whiskey and drizzle over cooled cookies for extra flavor.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough before baking. Don’t overbake—cookies should look slightly underdone in the center when removed from the oven. Optional glaze adds extra boozy flavor. Easily adapted for gluten-free or vegan diets with appropriate substitutions.
